Improved Firo Alarm.

A mechanic in Louisville, KY, thinks
that he has invented an apparatus which
will discourage the giving of false alarms
Of fire. His appliance Is pair of mag
netic nippers which grab by the wrist the
man who turns in the alarm, and hold him
at the box until the arrival of the fire de-
pnrtment. The man who turns in the
alarm can be released only by the 1remen,
who are supplied with keys which turn off
the current, when the magnet relaXes its
grip.-New York Sun.

One of the colored lawyers who
practices before the Police Court

of a lady on 11th street above P

this city from New York on a visit
and asked her and her sister in

man who is said to work in the
Pension office, to walk on 14th at.
where theirs is a restaurant or q

the LAWYER asked the married lady

to take beer as the proprietor did
not keep anything else. The lady
informed him that she didn't drink
beer, at aDyrate, he called for tour
bottles and is said to have drunk
it all, in a few minutes he NO

NATHANIEL SPRAGUE.
A SUCCESSFUL REALESTATE NAN. NO
SUCCESS WITHOUT OPPOSITION.

1t is true saying, that there is
no success without opposition
and abuse. To make a man sue
ceed, is to abuse and oppose him
Among this class of abused men
will be found Mr. Nathaniel
Sprague, the son.in.law Of ex Re-
corder Fred. Douglass. Mr..
Sprague was born a slave i'll Ma,
ryland, and when made free, he
went to a little town in New
York where he was hired by Mr..
Douglass, and while In his em.
ployment he married Mr.. DOUG
lass daughter, who taught him how
to read and write. After which, he
Unlisted in the 54th Massachusetts
as a private, where he remained
two years.
He went home and bought q
farm on which he worked two
years, atterwhich he commenced
TO buy cattle. Finding this life
somewhat hard, ne entered the
realestate business In Rochester,
New York, be bought lots and
builded houses. He owns property
in Arnolds Park, in one of the
most popular neighborhoods In the
place. He still owns property in
Rochester, New York. He came
to this city IL years ago and was
employed by Mrs. Catherine
Sprague Chase to do business for
her which he did until within three
years ago. He is doing good
business at 524, 10th ST. n. W., in
this city. His office is fitted up in
first class style and has sufficient
business to employ a clerk and
type writer. BE is an eye sore to
quite a number of prejudiced real
estate men in this city, and moi
withstanding the great opposition
to him. he Is succeeding. AS q
business man, there are none to
excel him.
Mr.. Sprague is square in business
transactions, and'there is no doubt
as to his success.
He lives in q beautiful house
beyond the boundary, where be
keeps things in apple pie order
The Washington bee., 1887-11-26

1t has been opposition that has
caused his success in business. No
man can point to one act of dis
honesty In any OF his transactions.
He does business for some of the
most influential and richest white
men in this city. He is congenial
and accommodating to all and
never turns a friend away from
his door in want. Mrs. Sprague is
an educated lady and a woman
who loves her home. There being
three daughters, who are recog-
nized for their amlableness and
intelligence. Whatever may be
said of Nathaniel Sprague, there
is no man in real estate business
who is meeting with greater sue
cess than he.
He conducts bis business in practi
cal manner and knows what to do
with a dollar when he earns it. A
man of his pluck and brain is
bound to succeed, and in a few
years he will be one of the richest
men in this city. If you have bus
mess you want attended to, or if
you want to borrow money on real
estate ct q small percentage, call
on MIR. Sprague.
